[Matplotlib-users] Best practices for organizing plotting code?

2009-12-21 Thread Greg Novak
Hello, I do computational science and I think I'm typical in that I've accumulated a huge pile of code to post-process simulations and draw plots. I think the number of lines of plotting code is now greater than the number of lines in the actual simulation code... The problem with plotting code i

2009-12-21 Thread Greg Novak
Hello, I'm trying to resize a matplotlib figure window as part of an interactive IPython session. I occasionally draw plots that have strong opinions about the size or aspect ratio of the plotting window, and I'd like to be able to just put those preferences into the function that draws the plot.

[Matplotlib-users] Legend fails to make sample symbols for legends outside of the plot area

2009-11-03 Thread Greg Novak
Hello, I am making a plot with a _lot_ of lines. There's no place within the plot itself that the legend will fit without blocking anything. I tried to put the legend outside the plot area by passing a tuple to loc. This worked, but lines that are marked with symbols don't get any sample line in

[Matplotlib-users] Matplotlib over the network?

2007-11-08 Thread Greg Novak
Much of the data that I would like to plot lives on machines other than my desktop. I'd like to log in to the remote machine, start Python, and then let Matplotlib pop up an Xwindow on my desktop machine. The problem I'm running into is that this is quite painfully slow. Even over a 100 Mbit lin
